Clinical Practicum Student Therapist
I know what it feels like to arrive somewhere new and not yet be known, to look for a familiar face and not find one, to wonder quietly whether there is a place for you here. That experience lives in me, and it shapes everything about how I show up for the people I work with. From the very first session, I want you to feel that someone is genuinely here with you, calm and present and truly glad you came.
My approach is relational and collaborative, grounded in compassion and a deep respect for what you have already survived. I draw from person-centred care, solution-focused approaches, and trauma-aware practice, all under the clinical supervision of Laura Hoge, RSW and the team at Clayre Sessoms Psychotherapy. You have likely arrived here with your own ways of coping, and we will treat those with care, even the ones that no longer fit. Alongside conversation, I may invite reflection through imagery, metaphor, or creativity, always at your pace and with your consent.
I offer therapy for people navigating identity, relationships, resettlement, and life transitions. Sessions are available in English and Arabic. الجلسات متاحة باللغة العربية. This work is part of the practice's commitment to low cost counselling Vancouver and online across Canada, offered through a reduced-fee practicum placement so that cost is one less reason to wait. I am especially attuned to people who have had to explain themselves too many times and are ready for a space where that is no longer required.
This is a space for beginning again, with care, warmth, and room for everything you carry. My supervised clinical training begins on May 4, 2026, and I would welcome the chance to begin with you.
